On April 23, Beijing time, the quarterfinals of the CBA playoffs continued. Hongyuan, who won two home victories, came to Hangzhou to make a final challenge to Zhejiang Guangsha. Through the fourth quarter of competition, Guangdong Hongyuan was finally reversed by Zhejiang Guangsha 102-109, and the big score was chased by the opponent to 1-2. While losing the game, Hongyuan also received a piece of bad news. Zhou Qi, the core of the team's interior line, was whistled for a power-grabbing foul in the game, and his elbow hit the opposing player was more bad, and according to the recent CBA punishment scale, I am afraid that he will be banned from the game.
In terms of statistics, Hongyuan's Hu Mingxuan scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Weems 19 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, Xu Jie 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Zhou Qi 11 points and 7 rebounds, Zhang Mingchi 9 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Zhang Haojia 9 points and 8 rebounds, and Waters 6 points. In Guangsha, Okafor had 17 points and 10 rebounds, Sun Minghui had 12 points and 13 assists, Zhao Jiaren had 13 points, Li Jinxiao had 19 points, and Zhao Yanhao had 25 points and 3 rebounds.
I believe that many Hongyuan fans remember in their hearts that Guangdong was eliminated by Guangsha at home today last year, and the eldest brother Yi Jianlian was reluctant to leave the stadium for a long time after the game, and picked up his mobile phone to take pictures. In the last CBA season of his career, stopping in the quarterfinals of the playoffs was undoubtedly very uncomfortable for Yi Jianlian. Last year, Hongyuan's core players were frequently injured, and foreign aid was not enough, but this year's return of Weems, the addition of Waters and Bale, coupled with the gradual rise of young players, Hu Mingxuan's transformation made Du Feng more confident. In this game, Hongyuan was actually very close to eliminating the opponent, but the scale of the penalty was really outrageous, and Zhou Qi was seized power halfway, and Guangsha finally reversed and won with the blessing of the home momentum.
Hongyuan's side, "Intercept Hu Brothers". Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie combined for 32 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Since entering the playoffs, Hu Mingxuan's state has been up and down, and many fans are worried that if Hu Mingxuan has been in this state, Hongyuan will be overturned by Guangsha. But it turns out that Hu Mingxuan's adjustment ability is really strong, although the shooting percentage is not high in the past few games, he can always stand up at critical moments to save the team. In this game, Hu Mingxuan once again played the role of "Mr. Key", and in the second quarter of the game, Guangsha once beat back the momentum with Li Jinxiao's 15 points in a single quarter, and at this time Hu Mingxuan stood up. After Guangsha sacrificed an oppressive super defense, Hu Mingxuan cut off Guangsha's scoring momentum with a beautiful ultra-long-distance three-pointer, and then he also assisted Xu Jie to also hit an ultra-long-distance three-pointer, and the two brothers "reciprocated with peach" and achieved each other!
Although he failed to score three consecutive layups due to physical problems, it has to be said that Weems did his best. In this game, Weems was given a heavy responsibility by Du Feng, that is, to hold Sun Minghui to the death at all costs! Sun Minghui only made 2 of 7 shots in the whole game, and scored 12 points by 8 of 8 free throws, and he can still be limited to this extent when he leads the team alone, which shows that the 38-year-old Weems is indeed terrifying. In addition to defending, Weems also did his best on the offensive end, not only scoring a lot of points in his individual offense, but most importantly, he provided a lot of subtle assists to the rest of the team. It's hard to expect the 38-year-old Weems to be as big as James in the NBA, but Weems can really be a big help to Hongyuan in terms of defense and tandem teaming!
